Power seat adjustment (where fitted)
WARNING
Never leave children or adults who would nor-
mally require the support of others alone in the
vehicle. Pets should not be left alone either. They
could unknowingly activate switches or controls
and inadvertently become involved in a serious
accident and injure themselves.
Operating tips:
•The power seat motor has an auto-reset over-
load protection circuit. If the motor stops during
the seat adjustment, wait 30 seconds, then reac-
tivate the switch.
•To avoid discharge of the battery, do not operate
the power seats for a long period of time when
the engine is not running.Forward and backward:
Move the adjusting switch
j1 forward or backward
to the desired position.
Reclining:
Move the adjusting switch
j2 forward or backward
to the desired position.
The reclining feature allows the adjustment of the
seatback for occupants of different sizes to help
obtain the proper seat belt fit. (See “Precautions on
seat belt usage” later in this section.)
The seatback may be reclined to allow occupants to
rest when the vehicle is parked.
Seat lifter (where fitted):
Pull the adjusting switch
j1 up or push down to
adjust the seat height until the desired position is
achieved.
SEAT HEATER (where fitted)
CAUTION
•With the ignition switch in the ON position,
the battery could run down if the seat heater
is operated while the engine is not running.
•Avoid using the seat heater for any longer than
is necessary, or when the seat is not occu-
pied.
•Do not put anything on the seat which insu-
lates heat, such as a blanket, cushion, seat
cover, etc. Otherwise, the seat may become
overheated.
•Do not place anything hard or heavy on the
seat or pierce it with a pin or similar object.
This may result in damage to the seat heater.
•Any liquid spilled on the seat should be re-
moved immediately with a dry cloth.
•When cleaning the seat, never use petrol, thin-
ner, or any similar materials.

Checking seat belt operation
Seat belt retractors are designed to lock seat belt
movement by two separate methods:
•When the belt is pulled quickly from the retrac-
tor.
•When the vehicle slows down rapidly.
To increase your confidence in the seat belts, check
the operation as follows:
•Grasp the shoulder belt and pull forward quickly.
The retractor should lock and restrict further belt
movement.
If the retractor does not lock during this check or if
you have any questions about seat belt operation,
see a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
Shoulder belt height adjustment
(where fitted)
The shoulder belt anchor height should be adjusted
to the position that is best for you. (See “Precau-
tions on seat belt usage” earlier in this section.)
To adjust, push (squeeze) the adjustment button
j1 , and then move the shoulder belt anchor to the
preferred positionj2 so that the belt passes over
the centre of the shoulder. The belt should be away
from your face and neck, but not falling off of your
shoulder. Release the adjustment button to lock the
shoulder belt anchor into position.
WARNING
•After adjustment, release the adjustment but-
ton and then try to move the shoulder belt
anchor up and down to make sure that it is
securely fixed in position.
•The shoulder belt anchor height should be
adjusted to the position that is best for you.
Failure to do so may reduce the effectiveness
of the entire restraint system and increase the
chance or severity of injury in an accident.
Centre of rear seat
Selecting the correct seat buckle:
The centre seat belt buckle is identified by the
CENTRE mark
jA . The centre seat belt tongue must
only be fastened into the centre seat belt buckle.
SEAT BELT MAINTENANCE
•To clean the seat belt webbing,apply a mild
soap solution or any solution recommended for
cleaning upholstery or carpets. Then wipe with a
cloth and allow the seat belts to dry in the shade.
Do not allow the seat belts to retract until they
are completely dry.

properly positioned across the top, middle portion
of the shoulder and the lap belt is low on the hips.
The booster seat should also fit the vehicle seat.
Once the child has grown so that the shoulder belt
is no longer on or near the face or neck of the child,
use the shoulder belt without the booster seat. In
addition, there are many types of child restraint sys-
tem available for larger children that should be used
for maximum protection.
LEGAL REQUIREMENTS
Check any legal requirements applicable in your lo-
cation. For example, the U.K. has legal requirements
to use child restraints based on height and age, see
“Child restraints” later in this section for more infor-
mation
PRECAUTIONS ON CHILD
RESTRAINTS
WARNING
•Infants and small children should always be
placed in an appropriate child restraint sys-
tem while riding in the vehicle. Failure to use
a child restraint system can result in serious
injury or death.
•Infants and small children should never be
carried on your lap. It is not possible for even
the strongest adult to resist the forces of a
severe accident. The child could be crushed
between the adult and parts of the vehicle.
Also, do not put the same seat belt around a
child and yourself.
•Infants and children need special protection.
The vehicle’s seat belts may not fit them prop-
erly. The shoulder belt may come too close to
the face or neck. The lap belt may not fit overtheir small hip bones. In an accident, an im-
properly fitting seat belt could cause serious
or fatal injury.
•NISSAN recommends that the child restraint
system be installed in the rear seat. Accord-
ing to accident statistics, children are safer
when properly restrained in the rear seat
rather than in the front seat.
•Child restraint systems specially designed for
infants and small children are available from
several manufacturers. When selecting any
child restraint systems, place your child in the
child restraint system and check the various
adjustments to be sure that the child restraint
system is compatible with your child. Always
follow the manufacturer’s instructions for in-
stallation and use.
•Follow all of the child restraint manufacturer’s
instructions for installation and use. When
purchasing a child restraint, be sure to select
one which will fit your child and vehicle. It may
not be possible to properly install some types
of child restraint in your vehicle.
•Check the child restraint system in your ve-
hicle to be sure that it is compatible with the
vehicle’s seat belt system.
•For a front-facing child restraint system,
check to make sure the shoulder belt does
not fit close to child’s face or neck.
